Clinton might be many things, but she certainly isn't an idiot.

Louis CK had a good and funny interpratiation of Donald Trump.
It’s a speculative observation, yet it’s specificity alarming. That’s because, according to New Yorker television critic Emily Nussbaum’s recent chat with C.K., the inspiration came from a visit to a Trump casino many years prior. Per the Hollywood Reporter‘s account of Nussbaum and C.K.’s appearance at theNew Yorker festival:
“I saw this thing happening where buses were showing up from all over the country but with little old ladies from places like Ohio and Tennessee to Atlantic City… and they filed in to the Trump casino. They take what little they have. They have nothing! They take that nothing, the little tiny scraps, and they turn it into chips and they pour buckets of money into his machines. Then [Trump] showed up and he just walks around,” he said, making a face like Trump surveying the scene. “And it wasn’t like, ‘Hi, folks, thanks for coming.’ It wasn’t like that at all. That’s not what he represented.”
Instead of greeting visitors and potential casino customers with a smile and wave, C.K. noticed Trump “just walked around miserable looking” the entire time. Even when the two happened to ride an elevator together in private, the mogul’s visage didn’t change:
“I looked at his face and he just looked miserable. And everyone’s like ‘Donald!’ So excited to see him. And they’re giving him everything, and he has everything, right? And they’re leaving on the same bus with nothing, just ruining their lives. I saw this as a reverse charity, like a weird kind of charity… He has a $10 billion deficit in his heart. So if he doesn’t have that much money, he’s nothing. So they were like, ‘Donald, you take this!’ They come from miles around to give to him because they’re invested in his happiness. It’s so big, this desperate hole that people come from all over [to fill it].”

The CIA and the the three leaders of the armed forces have always been gung ho. They've always had a desire to show the world their new toys in action against commie /Arab /yellow bastards (delete as appropriate).
We need a commander in chief with the good sense to reign them in like jfk did during the cuban missile crisis.

Won't confirm he will accept the result if he loses - hope the mard arsed **** gets battered out of sight then lets see how the Republican Party reacts to having THAT as their chosen candidate.

Somewhere along the way Americans became turned off by smart politicians, it was probably when Bush got elected. Then it was all about who you would want to drink a beer with (which is odd because he's an alcoholic). Hillary is a brilliant woman and we know this because she's about to become the most powerful woman in the history of humanity. I'm in awe of her ability to stay out of the mud while the GOP keeps slinging it at her. Trump unnerved every man in the primary and can't even get a little bit of a rise out of Clinton. She is so obviously the right choice to be POTUS that her victory will be an historic landslide.
she is just lucky she is up against trump, brilliant woman? too far from it

I'm not one to defend Trump, but he apologised for the "grab them by the pussy" video. It's the accusations by nine women that he denied and said he has no intention of apologising for.Only seen highlight's today,did he go on rant mode again?

I'm in the States and watched the debate with a Trump supporter. Eric's a blue collar guy who drives a truck and owns a few guns so pretty typical working class American I guess. I can see why he supports someone like Trump, even though he admits the guy is a narcissist.
Watching as an informed neutral who had a leaning towards Clinton, my view is that she's not so impressive but he's a complete tosser. He has no solid answers to any issues and any solutions he does talk about are utterly simplistic and would be almost impossible to implement.
She talks the talk but, like all politicians, that's all it is - talk. You know she'll be at the mercy of the corporate lobbyists and that she's not in this from a burning desire to help people but to help herself most of all.

Damn right. Which is why trump is gonna win. Middle america hates the likes of clinton, they had the chance for real change with obama, and were let down. Won't get fooled again.I'm in the States and watched the debate with a Trump supporter.

But middle America has little say effectively. Where I am, in rural PA, Trump will probably walk it but Pittsburgh & Philadelphia will probably deliver PA's electoral college votes to Clinton.Damn right. Which is why trump is gonna win.
